  • Spring forward. Fall back. Spring forward. Fall back.

  • We Californians voted to adopt daylight savings time during the Truman

  • administration and we've been remembering or forgetting to reset our

  • clocks ever since. Now we're gonna get a chance to change that.

  • Well, sort of. I'm Ricardo Cano, K-12 education reporter for CALmatters and

  • this is Proposition 7 in under a minute.

  • The twice a year time change can be annoying, especially in March. Pity anyone who's

  • shown up an hour late to a big event or had to coax their groggy kids out of bed

  • for school. Changing clocks and the sleep deprivation that results doesn't

  • actually save energy, but research suggests it does lead to more heart

  • attacks, strokes and traffic accidents. Enter Prop. 7 which holds out the promise

  • of daylight savings time forever but it's not that simple. The measure would

  • give the legislature permission to end the clock switching and encourage

  • lawmakers to adopt year-round daylight savings, but that would require a

  • two-thirds vote of the legislature, the governor's signature and approval by

  • Congress and the president. Opponents predict a dark side to year-round

  • daylight savings time: it would drive up the cost of business by putting

  • California out of sync with 47 other states and during winter, send children off to

  • school in the dark. So vote yes if you want more light later in the day

  • year-round. Vote no if you want to keep springing

  • forward and falling back. Learn more about this proposition and others by

  • visiting our in-depth elections guide at calmatters.org

Spring forward. Fall back. Spring forward. Fall back.
